If people ... don't believe that, but still, for the most part, are Republican otherwise, they can be with us. But we're not going to change the course that this party was founded on,
I didn't know he was playing. It was really neat to meet him.
If I conduct myself publicly and privately in a way that is honorable, not just to the people of the district that I represent but to God, then I will feel like I have been successful.
